What is a tapejara used for? tapejara battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
A great taming mount with friends! Have one person drive and another shoot tranqs, makes tranqing flying creatures like argies and quetz a breeze, but you can also use this technique to tranq just about anything. Solo, you can hook onto walls such as cliff sides and try to fire from the saddle, although the angle tends to be difficult.
Otherwise, it makes a great "pick up" mount, use it to pick up friends that may have lost their flying mount or otherwise stranded themselves far from home.
However they are quite slow, consider putting a number of points in speed and a few in weight, especially if you want to keep up with fleeing quetz. With enough weight they can become an interesting alternative to an argy.
I once found a helpful glitch with the Tapejara. I was solo taming a quetzal, when I discovered that if you change to a passenger seat and reload your gun, the Tapejara’s stamina automatically refills. I know it works on mobile with the Tapejara, but I don’t know if it works on other editions or on other dinos.
These things are so underrated and arguably one of the best midgame tames:
- Can be used to solo tame Quetzals
- Able to hang from surfaces where u can tame dinos from
- If you’re above a body of water and switch seats, you can float in the air where u can easily shoot dinos from (this happens because there isnt a body of land nearby)
So these flyers are just so awesome! They are even part of my main Dino’s I use! The6 are useful because they are almost like the thylacoleos of the redwoods in ark mobile but instead can fly. These creatures can latch onto trees and rocks. Sadly they can’t move while doing these things but it is still very useful on multiplayer. Hope this helps my friends!
This boi Is the most mobile of all fliers, 3 seats (1 pilot, 2 passengers) and can carry another one guy, it can carry less creatures than the ptera can, It can land anywhere and it has a tek saddle, with all of this it can be better than the griffin, it may have worse stats than it but unlike the griffin it can be bred (it means you can imprint it) and has a tek saddle too while the griffin got no saddle and that means less resistance, also tek saddle = blasts, it's a must tame especially because of the tek saddle as the tape is the only flyer with one so it has advantage over so many creatures, even a giga if you are careful enough to keep a safe distance, go tame It bois.
